We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

USAID was founded by JFK to fight the Kremlin -- by helping countries all over the world, rather than having them fall under Soviet dominance. The Kremlin has wanted to kill USAID ever since. Don't fall for anti-USAID propaganda -- it all comes from PUTIN.

If you think Trump's mass deportation will target felons not families, think again. This man is more likely to be deported than a violent criminal.
